Not sure I would have wished to read Lord of the Flies as a kid, personally…

I actually would have loved to read the Percy Jackson series when I was younger. Middle grade doesn’t work well for me now so I’m not enjoying Rick Riordan as much as I could have if I read them when I was younger. I’m still enjoying them though, thankfully!

I’ve read the Percy Jackson series a few times as an adult. I’m finding as I’m getting older I enjoy reading children’s books more which is very strange.

Would you really have liked to have read ‘Lord of the Flies’ as a kid? Don’t get me wrong, I think it’s an amazing book but I’m glad I waiting until I was older… I read ‘Mr. Popper’s Penguins’ and ‘Ella Enchanted’ when I was young but unfortunately I don’t remember them much at all. I remember liking ‘Mr. Popper’s Penguins,’ but I think I found ‘Ella Enchanted’ disappointing for some reason.

Yea I would have happily read it as a child I was reading Dickens and Austen from the age of 8 and I read Animal Farm when I was quite young. I started reading children’s books more as an adult. I’ve read 101 Dalmatians so many times as an adult I just love it. I have Ella Enchanted and Mr Popper’s Penguins on my TBR pile currently.

Surprised you didn’t read Ballet Shoes and Pollan name when you were a sprog because u know I read them. But Dickens and Austen are a good base! And I know I read Mathilda to you when you were wee 😉

No I didn’t even own copies of them as a youngster sadly. I read Matilda again last year, it will always be one of my favourites. I also remember you collecting Roald Dahl books for me off PG Tips, I still have them all.
